DECEMBER

As you can probably tell from my blogs this month, I have not been quite so busy with shows and events for Percy’s.

My bottling plant will not be ready till next Jan / Feb, so stocks have been low and it’s appeared to hold me back. It’s actually been a bit of a blessing in disguise.  I have had a chance to look at my business model and strategy and this is important. Plus, it’s been a very busy year for me I could have run the risk of being a ‘busy fool’ this month, which I didn't want to do – as I will need all the energy I have for next year!

I haven’t been totally unless though, my days still start at six and I never stop till the evening.....

 

I did a Christmas show last weekend; actually, it was more of a ‘Christmas Market’. It was local and cheap, the money from the little stock I have left is better off in the bank rather than sat in bottles of Percy’s.... however I will not do this particular show again! It wasn't one of my best, thank goodness I was next to a very good butcher who was making tasty sausages and burgers!

Last week I also had a lady mail me, asking ‘where she could buy some Percy’s for her friends’.... since my on-line website is not fully operational, I decided to have a go at ‘online selling’ directly. So, I sold them and got them couriered to her within 1 day. She did not hesitate on the £7 delivery cost for only 6 bottles, which I found interesting. The 1st Percy’s online sale (sort of), which was exciting.

It was exciting because, I have not even started to market my website yet and the traffic is minimal - this will be a job for 2012 when I have my bottling plant and unlimited stock!

So this is a brief update for you, I will do my Christmas Video blog for you over the next few days... may even sing a Christmas song for you!
